Terminology: Plugin "Bypass"

Hi, Jo,

A suggestion: Right now, the word "Bypass" is used two different ways in the context of a mixer strip:

1) If you right-click on a plug-in, you get an option to "Bypass Audio" and the plug-in name turns gray. This, to me, is the proper use of the term "bypass".

2) If you left-click on a plug-in slot, you get the "Choose Slot Plug" menu with available VSTs and sends. The first item on this menu is "Byass" and it's used to remove the plug-in from that slot.

I'd suggest that usage #2 be replaced with "Delete" or "Remove", which (a) seems more precise to me, and (b) avoids using the same term to mean two different things in the same part of the user interface.

I second that suggestion, it bugs me when the same word is used to mean two different things in one environment.

I'd suggest "None" myself, but it's up to Jo of course!

And yeah, all the best for 2007, everyone. :)
